Glass windows Building problem
Hi,

i'm having problems building a purely glass window room.
The first row is ok, but sometimes i can't set a window in the corner, or above a door.
When i build a ceiling, i can't attach the ceiling to the walls.
I imagine it has somethin to do with the facing of the glass tile, but it seems i can't get it right.

A little help would be appreciated. I did not have this kind of problem in 2016.

Thanks.

"I imagine it has somethin to do with the facing of the glass tile"

im guessing its this exactly, the glass panels look like only 1 edge of the 'block area' but as far as the building part goes they still take up the whole block area
so if your walls face inward (the empty 'looking' part) then they will block any other part you try in that space
in that circumstance all your ceiling windows would have to have the 'empty part' facing up so they use another block area thats not already ocupied
make sure all the walls face in and all the ceilings face up when you place them

Block connection hasnt changed since 2016 to now, they fit together the same way, we just have more blocks now.

There should be a corner window and a corner roof window shape in the manu for those type applications.

I have many full glass rooms so it definately works, try re-arranging them and check the block menu right click on mouse when you have a block in your hand.

It takes some practice but it can be done. As mentioned above check rotation and structural intergity "N" key. I had to use the piping to support my glass ceilings but the visual cheat worked out quite well.

Shame on you May 30, 2018 @ 5:36pm 
In bases you maybe need some "Support Structure"
in vehicles you would have no Physic issues

Take a look at my biosphere 2 project in the workshop, it can give you some ideas on how to support and place the windows.
Cant link from my phone, but search: biosphere. And you will find it.

Sometimes it helps either to rotate the item you like to place or change your angle of view (90 or 180°). Also helpfull especially for second third or higher rows is the use of the inbuild playerdrone so you can easily set the view from above wich is normally perfect for me

Also instead to try to attach to a wall on right or left side it is sometimes helpfull to just try to attach to the block below, especially with glass blocks
